Breakfast casserole

Who doesn't love breakfast food??  There are so many different ways you can make eggs and then there is pancakes, waffles, sausage, bacon, toast, french toast, fruit, biscuits and gravy....and so many more!  We love to have breakfast for dinner probably every other week.  I think that is mostly because AJ and I usually have our shake for breakfast, which I love but that means I don't get all of that other yummy breakfast food.

At church we rotate who brings in breakfast for our small group.  I always try to make something healthy and then a little something sweet.  A couple of weeks ago I brought in an egg casserole and breakfast cookies that went over well and disappeared except for these 2 pieces that I got a picture of (after I took a bite!)

These egg casseroles are super easy to make and you can make it ahead of time if you need to.  You can easily reheat it or its even good cold :)


This one was thrown together pretty quickly and I used what I had on hand.  You can add any kind of protein or veggies you wanted and it would be delicious, but this simple combination was easy and delicious.

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees
Brown your breakfast sausage (I use Jennie-O turkey)
Place it in the bottom of a 9x13 dish
Dice up tomatoes into bite size pieces and layer over the top of the sausage
Shred Colby Jack cheese and sprinkle generously over the top of the sausage and tomatoes
Beat 11 eggs and season with salt and pepper (that is all I had, I'm sure 12 would be good too!)
Pour eggs over the top and season with Italian Seasoning and Parsley
Bake for 40 minutes
Let cool for a couple minutes to set and then serve warm.  Enjoy!

Cookie dough balls

I saw this picture of what looked like cookie dough on my friends facebook page - she said she made it with Shakeology!  It absolutely looked amazing in the bowl, just like cookie dough.  And then she rolled it into balls for a quick snack - or in my kids case, BREAKFAST 😊 I modified her recipe a little bit and according to my husband I need to modify it a little bit more.  I thought they were good and the kids scarfed them down.  I guess if you don't like coconut at all, then you need to modify it as well - I'll tell you how I intend to but I can't promise anything at this point! Making these with Shakeology allows you to get 70+ amazing ingredients including superfoods, vitamins, protein, pre/probiotics, adaptogens, digestive enzymes....you know all that good for you stuff that most of us don't get on a daily basis and probably don't even know what it all is!  The way Shakeology is made though, the nutrients get delivered to you as a whole food (dri...

Homemade Granola Bars

I LOVE granola bars!  They used to be my go to snack when I was hungry between meals and then I started eating a little cleaner, so I avoided the store bought ones for a while.  We still bought them for the kids so they were around and I would look at them often!   I have given in and eaten them a couple of times recently, but the worst part of eating clean happened - some of my favorite foods don't sit so well in my stomach anymore!  Dang it for my stomach not liking the processed food with the chemicals 😉  I've tried a couple different recipes and they are all good, but I had to keep them in the refrigerator or they got too soft. So, this recipe I found the other day bakes them which I guess I always avoided because it would take longer.  However, baking them is totally worth it!  I have wrapped them individually so I can throw them into lunch boxes and they don't fall apart by the time lunch comes around.  AND they can sit out of the ...

Happy Holidays!

It has been a glorious 5 days off work and time spent with the family!  We normally travel for the holidays, but we had been traveling so much we decided to stay home and have Thanksgiving.  Our neighbor invited us over to join their family so I didn't have to make a big meal for the 4 of us - plus AJ said he would rather go out to eat than make a big meal that may get wasted.  So I accepted the invitation 😊 I did make some pies, chocolate chip cookies and a green bean casserole to bring over 😱 I did quite well with my eating and only had a little piece of cherry pie and pumpkin pie!  I told myself I wasn't going to have any, but I only eat pumpkin pie once a year so I couldn't resist myself! No skipping on the workout though and I tried to make the green bean casserole a little healthier - this (http://smilesandwich.com/2015/10/26/clean-eating-green-bean-casserole/) isn't the exact recipe I used, but similar.  I tried to follow the one on Beachbody on Dem...
